I'm beginning to see activity at the Japanese Maple tree.
The white flowering tree, (I'm guessing a cherry/pear/apple, not sure), looks great against the Redbud.
Truth be told, I'm not sure if they are mine or my neighbors.
So far, so good for the Bridal Wreath Spirea. Although the center doesn't look as full as the rest of the plant. Not sure what's up here.
The Star Magnolia seems to be growing faster in recent years. I've seen a lot more flowers over the past few spring blooming seasons.
The Cleveland Select Flowering Pear tree also has more flowers on it this year than ever before.

The Japanese Camellia cluster is blooming.

I spotted a visitor among the driveway azaleas.
I watched him for a minute and waited until he settled down on an azalea.
I think he knew I wanted to take a few pics because he stood still for a long time.
I slowly approached and started zooming.
I managed to get a few good pics before he flew away.
The Yoshino Cherry tree, (I think, not really sure), has been in the back yard long before I was here. Each spring, it does its thing and looks great.
It looks great each spring, especially from the street.
I'm not actually sure what this tree is. Comparing it with pictures on the 'net lead me to call it a Yoshino Cherry tree. But I have no idea.
Whatever it is, it looks great every spring.

I was able to get a few good pics of the tree from the backyard as well.

There are several Redbuds and white flowering cherry/pear/apple trees in the backyard.
They look good each spring.
The tree in the photo above sits near the back of the driveway. It's always fascinated me because it's one of the strangest shaped trees I've seen. I wonder what would make it grow that way ?
